Absolutely. Forde drops this bomb late friday evening. It was a planned crisis management situation. Even the terrible press conference was planned. How poorly that press conference went, tells you how bad its about to get.
Also the fact Forde broke this for them, tells you theyve known about it for awhile. So theyve already been notified of alof of the evidence coming in the book. It must be devastating, if this response is the best they can muster.
Pretty insightful analysis bigblue and I believe you're right. Now all the cars the players were driving and the women being provided connects, there is no spin maneuver they have here, somebody has to go on this one.
